50:1 Fully Synthetic Safe

[fugirocksolid]

Just wandering if this ratio is safe for a 66cc bike? (50:1)

Just broke in, looking to rid the crappy 20:1 ratio with mineral.

Does anyone else run this ratio?

Performance a bit better?

Dangers?

Cheers

I just switched over to synthetic and Iam playing it safe by doing what they say on the bottle for my size motor a 66cc. (30 to 1)

I personally would only run a blended oil such as Klotz Super Techniplate 2-Stroke Oil or Maxima 927 if using that ratio.

i've ran maxima super m all my life which is a syn petro blend at 50:1 I just recently started usin amsoil sabre at 70:1 to 80:1. I ran 70:1 in my cr 250 this past weekend with the vp ms103 oxygenated race fuel. Its never ran so crisp wowsers

 

[flybytaco]

what oil are you talking about? I'd have to say 50:1 is a good ammount of oil.

I run Red Line pure synthetic 50:1. Why? Because that's what Red Line recommends. My bike doesn't smoke and you can barely smell it.

I run Red Line pure synthetic 50:1 also...

ams oil synthetic 50:1 on my last build. Ran quite a lot time with much abuse.

It finally died, but I think hydrolocking the engine once or twice, and always running around WOT right from start up killed it... not the oil.

 

[flybytaco]

I think you got an answer fugi.

I would have to go with the trend here and say 50:1 is fine with the right oil. Been runing Amsoil and that seems fine.

I run coastal 50:1 but thats what the bottle says to run it at, no prob here and it cost 85 cents a gallon

In my china 2-strokes I've run Maxima K-2 fully synthetic and Maxima 927 at 50:1 with no probs after break-in. I use the Maxima 927 to break-in all of my 2-strokes at 30:1.....love the smell of that castor!

 

[flybytaco]

maxima redline and amsoil are seeming pretty well used here so far.

 

[chrisme]

Important thing is to NOT run synthetic at break in. I'll probably do 50 miles or so on my new engine (if it ever shows up... been waiting 3 weeks now). The 50:1 or so afterwards. If I got well over 4000 miles on the last one with a few hydrolocks and serious abusive abuse, I think this next one should do just fine.

 

[flybytaco]

Never had any issue run it 50:1 syn out the box

Just wondering if anyone has tried lucas semi synthetic? I found at a local auto parts, says no smoke I'm going to give it a try at 40 to 1.

 

[flybytaco]

never used but have used the oil treatment good stuff.

50 to 1 is hard to measure, 3 oz is easy to measure and 42 to 1 and 4 oz is 32 to 1

2.59 oz is 50 to 1.

I used it for years and occasionally do still time to time. Never had a problem but I ran at 40:1 with it.

Not hard to measure if ya have one of these......makes measuring a snap!
